Happy July ICLW!

Oh wow, is it really that time again? Oh who am I kidding, I've been looking forward to this week all month. Thanks for checking out my page, I hope you like what you see and we can become good friends. You follow me, I follow you. That's how I roll.

Anyways, if you're interested in finding out what ICLW is, feel free to click on the link to the right- it's blue, can't miss it. If you're interested in finding out other bits of info please look at my pages at the top. You can learn all about me, in a non stalkerish sort of way. You can read about my 101 goals that I'm working on, and read my post from last month's ICLW. If anything you might get at least 5 minutes of semi-amusing reading material. Enjoy!

But, I won't leave you with boring information from the past, I will grace your curiosity with a few of my latest life happs. (and I'll add in a few of the stuff from my pages above, just in case you don't want to spend too much time looking at things about me. I understand. )

*Hi, I'm Ashlee. I'm a 23 year old Kindergarten teacher.

*I am a junkie of all things entertainment. In fact, this week is Comic-Con in San Diego- but I'm missing it, since I'm a grown up now, doing grown up things. (I almost typed that without laughing.) Comic-Con is awesome, and I'm sad to be missing it. But, I love celebs- I've met like 30 of them. It's what I do.

*I recently finished watching Veronica Mars- and am DESPERATE for someone to talk to about it.

*I was born in Minnesota, and moved to bright and sunny Arizona when I was 12.

*I'm terrified of deep, dark water. 

*I have one sister and 11 brother and sister in laws, and 2 nieces with some more rugrats on the way.

*My stepDad is in the Army. He's in Iraq right now. He's super cool like that.

*I have a passion for photography and have dreams to become one, professionally, when I'm not teaching.

*I often have full blown conversations in my mind that make me seem cooler than I really am. (does that make me crazy?)

*and last factoid about yours truly- I'm a bit oversensitive and I tend to cry at all the wrong times.

I've been married to this pretty cute sexy guy for just over a year and I've decided that he's a keeper. I love him more than I've ever thought I could love a man, besides Leonardo DeCaprio, or JTT (I did promise to love them forever...so it's only fair to keep my word.) But I kid, my husbands a wonderful guy. He and I, pair nicely together. He's the peanut butter to my jelly, the Sonny to my Cher, and the Ross to my Rachel. He's super.

When we first got married, last June,.. it's like forever ago, I know...we had this huge plan of waiting to have babies for like 5 years. One thing led to another, and well- we decided to start "trying" a few months later in secret. I mean obviously its a secret anyways, not like we were charging for an audience in the boudoir- but you get my drift. We didn't want people to know when we started, because if they knew that well then they would be able to calculate the exact time it took us to conceive. And I don't want to get compared to any ones best friend, sister or cousin because it "only took them three months to get pregnant. all they had to do was relax". Pshhh. No such luck. Here we are. Still in love.Still relaxing and still no baby.

 But things are on the up and up. You see, I haven't had the so called pleasure, is that the right word, of being diagnosed with any type of infertility disease. I have, however, been blessed with a sketchy Aunt Flo who likes to skip town and hide out for months on end. But, she came to her senses and blessed me with a visit on July 6th, and she has overstayed her welcome and is still here. 15 days to be exact. Kill me. Now, I'm grateful to have the slightest chance to experience something that may not occur again for months, but when she visited I was excited at the prospect of the big O and well... I can't exactly test for it until its gone and my hope of it actually happening is dying down. But, I'm hopeful on the prospect.

So that's where I am now. I'm waiting, and waiting, and waiting. What? Not what you planned for your day, reading about some random girls menstrual cycle. Huh, well we are friends after all.

We want to be parents. We want a baby. I try and stay positive and think on the bright side, but well- when it comes so dang naturally to everyone and thier dog I get a little testy. We're hoping to find out in September what my issues are. That is when my insurance will kick back in and I can't wait to find out. It's not  knowing that kills me. But again, I'm hopeful. I'm just trying not to let infertility drive me loopy in the meantime.

So that's me, in a nutshell per say. I am so excited to meet new people. Since last month I've become regular readers of some wonderful ladies and I can't wait to add more to my "Support Group" blog roll.

You all rock. Happy ICLW!
